Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Zhuang Xuteng lost his memory for a period of time: he couldn't remember how he got out of the elevator, got in the car, and drove on the street.When he came back to his senses, there was already a long queue of vehicles in front of him, as well as curls of gray smoke still floating in the distance.

He adjusted his mental state a little, then stepped on the accelerator, and drove the armored vehicle directly towards the side of the road.The wheels ran over the railing, and the white beast rushed down the roadbed and overtook the car from the plain.Someone behind him tried to follow him, but the car model was different and the horsepower was very different. A car directly smashed its front into the gutter, blocking the way Zhuang Xuteng rushed out again.

Bypassing the congested traffic, Zhuang Xuteng came to the place where the accident happened.He stopped the car and walked straight over.The air was filled with the mixed smell of fire-fighting foam and chemicals, and the gray-black foamy liquid flowed from the roadside gutter to the source.The cordon was pulled at the scene, and the lights of two fire trucks were flashing. Seven or eight firefighters had finished their work and were sitting and resting beside the red vehicle.Someone was calling the tow truck and asking why the hospital ambulance hadn't come, there were bodies to be removed.

Zhuang Xuteng jumped onto the roadbed and directly crossed the cordon.In the very center of what used to be the fire site, only the wreckage of a car remained. After it hit the tanker of dangerous goods, the corrosive liquid gnawed away it directly, like digging into wax oil with a soldering iron.Zhuang Xuteng found that there were still traces of burning at the scene, mainly concentrated on the tanker, and a part of the car was also ignited, and now it is all covered with foam.On the drier, cleaner side of the site, four insulated body bags are lined up side by side, with a PCPD firefighter standing by to check in.

"Where did you come from? You are not allowed to enter here, go out!"

The firefighters came to chase them away, and Zhuang Xuteng took out his wallet. "I received news that my relatives may be among the dead. My name is Zhuang Xuteng, and my brother's name is Zhuang Teng. I am willing to buy news: Do you know the identity of the deceased?"

The firefighter who came to drive Zhuang Xuteng away was in his forties, with a dark complexion and a vicissitudes of life.Hearing this, he stopped, raised his right palm and said, "No matter what, stop there and don't move. There is still corrosive liquid here. Although it has been diluted, it is not completely safe. You...you put your Take out the documents, and I'll see if what you're saying is true."

Hearing this, Zhuang Xuteng's heart was half cold.He took out his ID and showed it to the other party, his arm trembling uncontrollably.The middle-aged black-faced firefighter squinted his eyes and leaned forward to take a closer look, then sighed and said, "I'm sorry to tell you the bad news: Zhuang Teng died in this accident. Judging from the situation at the scene, he died instantly , there should be no pain."

Zhuang Xuteng couldn't catch his breath for several consecutive breaths, only felt that his eyes were dark, and then he sat down on the ground.The firefighter hurried over to pull him up, dragged him to the side of the fire truck, and leaned him against it. "The water on the ground is not clean, don't touch it. You stay here for a while, please forgive me."

Seeing this, the firefighters next to him came over and asked what happened here. Through their names, Zhuang Xuteng knew that this middle-aged, dark-faced man was "Captain Jia".

"It's the deceased's younger brother. He was there when we checked the identity information and social and family relations just now." Captain Jia sighed, and said, "I'll take him to have a look later. The identity cannot be completely determined just by looking at the relics. It is best to let the family members Recognize it."

"Why did he come here so fast? We only had time to check the relics 10 minutes ago, and found out the identity information through PCPD." Someone said to the captain: "Captain, Pm0-55."

"I'm not a suspect who returned to the scene." Zhuang Xuteng lay on the fire truck for a while, recovered part of his status, turned his head and said after hearing their conversation, "I'm resting now, I want to go and see the situation."

"I didn't expect you to have learned PCPD terminology." Captain Jia shook his head and said, "Although you are mysterious, at least there is no problem with your certificate, and we are also contacting family members. Oh, your phone rang."

Zhuang Xuteng took out the phone, it was his sister calling, and he quickly answered it.Zhuang Feifei was sobbing on the phone, her words didn't make sense, she seemed to be in a hurry.

"I'm at the site of the car accident, and I'm going to check on the situation. You..." Zhuang Xuteng said, "You go home right away and see how your parents are doing. They may be working in the fields, and they don't know about it yet." One thing. Yes, you go back now, I will contact you after reading the situation here."

Hearing Zhuang Xuteng's arrangement, Zhuang Feifei immediately found the backbone and knew what she was going to do.She asked Zhuang Xuteng to tell him any information immediately, and then hung up the phone to find a taxi.Zhuang Xuteng put away his phone, nodded to Captain Jia, and said politely, "Excuse me, what's going on?"

"Go this way, follow me, don't step on the water." Captain Jia led the way in front, and said at the same time: "We received the alarm, and then came from the opposite lane. When we arrived here, it was impossible to save. According to my experience, the car The accident was caused by an out-of-control crash into the rear side of the tanker - you can see traces of tire skidding on the road before. What actually happened needs to be investigated in detail."

"The impact caused a leak and the chemical corrosion ignited the battery, causing the fire. The two people in the car died at the scene and they made no attempt to leave the damaged vehicle and the fire. The two people in the van died while coming down to check the situation. One was injured on the head by the splashed corrosive liquid, and the other died from the fire caused by the deflagration.”

"The car was badly corroded, but the chemicals kept the flames at bay, so only a small part of it burned. We found a bag containing credentials and documents in the wreckage, and we knew the identity of the passengers in the back seat from the contents. The driver in the front , There is no information left, and the body is very broken." Captain Jia led Zhuang Xuteng to the body bag, put one hand on his shoulder, and said: "Be prepared first, the body is in a very bad state. "

He opened the body bag, and Zhuang Xuteng covered his mouth with one hand.It's not just in bad shape, it's completely unrecognizable, dilapidated, and illegible.Zhuang Xuteng tried his best to compare the corpse in front of him with his brother in memory, but the body that had been burned to the point of being almost a skeleton could not be connected anyway.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Zhuang Xuteng breathed heavily, trying to supply as much oxygen to his brain as possible.He found that there was not much corrosion at the ends of the limbs of the corpse, so he quickly picked up the left hand of the corpse and turned it palm up.

There was a slanted scar in the palm of that hand, which was cutting across the lifeline. "It's my brother. He was stupid again and grabbed a knife in his hand. He was injured here, and that's what he looks like."

"Sorry." Captain Jia said, "The relics of the deceased are here, do you want to take a look?"

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head.Without saying a word, he tightly held his brother's remaining arm and stayed there.

Captain Jia patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, listen to me and put it back. The person is dead, so let him be quiet. Since you understand the code language of PCPD, you must also know the process. The people from the hospital will come over, they will check the identity again, and then follow the procedures of the insurance program, and then discuss with you about the funeral. It can be preserved relatively well with a bag.”

"I know..." Zhuang Xuteng's voice was already hoarse. He lowered his head deeply, let go of his hand slowly, then put the body back into the bag and closed the zipper.Afterwards, he stood up and asked, "At present, is this an accident, or is it caused by man?"

"I'm a firefighter, not a criminal investigator, and I'm not as good as a traffic policeman." Captain Jia said, "What can be confirmed now is that the car lost control for a short time, and only two parties were involved, that is, a big car and a small car. From the impact trajectory Look, the small car is fully responsible, so there will still be a problem of compensation for the dead of the big car..."

"If someone kills my brother, I won't spare him." Zhuang Xuteng couldn't listen to other things at all, clenched his fists, clenched his teeth, and said to himself.

Captain Jia pursed his lips and did not express his opinion.He understands the feelings of the relatives of the deceased, and cannot accept that the subsequent state is anger, so he often fantasizes that someone needs to be responsible for this, and then vents his emotions to the fictional responsible person.The most important thing at this time is not to provoke him, comfort him more, and find him something serious to do.

"We have contacted several people based on the information registered by the PCPD, including your name, but not your phone number." Captain Jia said: "Listen to my advice, report a letter to the family to appease their emotions. Now you have to Hold on, take care of the elderly, they..."

"Thank you, thank you." Zhuang Xuteng recovered and bowed deeply to Captain Jia.He took out a wad of banknotes from his wallet and stuffed them directly into Captain Jia's pocket.Captain Jia's refusal was useless in front of the super-computing five flashes of martial arts. He looked at his pocket in a daze and asked what it meant.

"I want to go back and see my parents quickly to appease their emotions. I don't have any other meaning for this little money. I just hope that you can handle the scene well and handle it with care." Zhuang Xuteng said: "I only carry this money with me, but I still have a lot of money. Please also say hello to the medical staff who transported the corpse and other people who may be related. If you need more expenses, you can come to me later."

Captain Jia frowned, sighed, and said, "If you return the money to you now, you won't feel at ease. How about this, I promise you and take good care of you. As for you, just concentrate on taking care of other family members. You can't die. Resurrected, those who are still alive need more care.”

"Yes, you are right." Zhuang Xuteng looked back at the body bag again, and was about to leave when he heard a firefighter shouting from a distance: "The sister of the deceased is here, do you want to..."

Zhuang Feifei is here?Her car is not so fast, is it?Zhuang Xuteng turned his head and saw a woman he had never seen before, but he always felt that her standing and walking posture was a bit familiar.The woman raised her hand, waved at Zhuang Xuteng, and called "Second Brother".

Who the fuck is this?Zhuang Xuteng walked over with his fists clenched, ready to punch any imitator.But before he got in front of the woman, he saw her control her mouth and put out four words: I am Lucy.

Lucy?Zhuang Xuteng calmed down a little, and he also remembered what happened to the previous familiarity.Lucy usually wears a mask. Zhuang Xuteng doesn't know what she looks like, but judging from the years of her career, she can't be so young.Could it be...

Observing carefully, Zhuang Xuteng noticed differences in the skin on her face, neck and hands, presumably she used some kind of camouflage headgear.Well, judging from the timing, Lucy should have rushed over immediately after notifying Zhuang Xuteng. The difference in distance out of the city caused them to come one after the other.

"Sister, don't look over there, listen to me." Zhuang Xuteng stopped Lucy, pulled her back beyond the cordon, and then said in a low voice, "I don't know your face, how can you prove..."

"Forty three million." Lucy confirmed her identity with a number. "I put down the phone and came over as soon as possible. There is no update from the intelligence network. What did you find here?"

"The body was seriously damaged. From the old injuries on the hands, I'm sure the deceased was my brother." Zhuang Xuteng repeated Captain Jia's judgment, and then said: "I don't accept the idea that the vehicle suddenly lost control, unless it can be accelerated at the same time. .Collision from the rear, how big the speed difference would be to make the crash into what it is now? And where is the driver's remedial driving? Why can't it be avoided?"

"I also feel that something is a little strange. I just provided protection at his request, and this happened." Lucy lowered her head and said, "I have ordered the security team to gather immediately, sort out the clues, and find out the problem. .”

"I want to get to the bottom of this. Miss Lucy, please."

"I also want to figure it out." Lucy looked at Zhuang Xuteng and said, "Professionally speaking, the client is dead, and it is still a protection task. This is an extremely serious accident. I am a middleman and I have a great responsibility. Personally , this is your relative again, I will definitely investigate to the end. But there is something I want to say in advance..."

"You talk, I listen."

"If it's just an accident, you get it right. I mean, you don't blame the other mercenaries on this protection mission."

Zhuang Xuteng frowned and didn't speak for a while.He constantly advanced himself to think calmly, but this kind of thing was really unbearable. "No!" He rejected Lucy, saying: "Even if it is an accident, I will not forgive them. Negligence is dereliction of duty, there is nothing to say. The only thing I can promise you is only one: people who are not responsible, will not die."

"Are you going to liquidate me too?"

"You are just a middleman. Unless you deliberately found a group of trash, or deliberately concealed important information, otherwise this matter will not be related to you." Zhuang Xuteng patted his head and said, "Lucy, I am a little confused now, don't worry about it." Let’s talk about these things. I still have a lot of calls to make, and I have to go back to appease my parents. I still believe that you will find out about this matter. If someone intentionally harms my brother, then I have an enemy. If pure If it was because of an accident that was not handled well, incapacity or dereliction of duty, then I will definitely find someone to settle the score. In this matter, I only recognize my own reasoning."

"I can understand. If it were me, I would make the same choice." Lucy nodded, and said, "I just have one request: if you act, you must be with Brother Dao, and there is mutual support between you two. When you are together, you will be invincible, and he is also your brother to a certain extent, okay?"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, then walked down the embankment in silence and walked towards the white beast.He wants to go home, to the home that is destined to lose one person.
